I was working a bird yesterday evening when he hung up about 150 yds out. I belly crawled until I thought I was about 35-40 yds. away and settled in behind a small cedar tree and took the shot. He turned and ran away putting . I found a few small feathers. I stepped it off and it was 53 yds. instead of 35-40 I thought it was. My question is, will he return to this field and how soon do you guys think? Thanks

Hard to say. Guys have shot birds and found more than a few pellets in non-vital areas.

I'd say he might be a bit more skiddish. But, if there are plenty of hens around, he'll be there!

I have shot at birds and returned to the same spot (area) a few days later and worked the birds and kill 1 while my buddy bagged the other.
He wil be back , he might not say a word but he will be there somehwere

Turkeys aren't exactly admired for their intelligence. He'll be back.

i missed a gobbler [2 shots] on SAT. evening and killed him on SUN. morning
same bird,same field. the kill shot was from behind him,but i found a couple pellets in his breast ,so i know it was the same bird. he'll be back if there are hens around.

Gobblers have one thing on their minds this time of year, he will return.

Well, you know the answer to your question by now....so, did he come back? I'm guessing NO, but then I never was much good at figgerin out wimmen and turkeys.

He's still in the area, but not in the same exact field. That happened on Monday and he was gobbling on Tues. and Wed. evening, but on the neighbors property.
